You can find this little fun word game, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications.
The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and any tips you might give the group on how you solve these puzzles as puzzle solvers love to hear how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram.
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hal’s Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.
Solution to our last puzzle:
THE FUNCTION OF LEADERSHIP IS TO PRODUCE MORE LEADERS, NOT MORE FOLLOWERS. ---RALPH NADER
Not so good today, took me about 9 minutes to home in on it.
Ok, you’ve got me on this one. How and heck is there a connection here?
Yes, it’s BONUS time once again. That laughable time when you get to solve a humorous quote from a classic funny movie, comedian, or entertainer. The trick is, unlike nikos puzzle where you don’t want to post spoilers, with the BONUS puzzle it’s a race for first solution posted, BUT you don’t post the solution directly, You post a funny pic ,gif, or meme that shows you solved it. First pic or gif wins the prize with full bragging rights. Honorable mentions for all original pic or gif posts.
I’ve got stacks of honorable mention awards laying about, so just because someone solves the quote first doesn’t mean you cant contribute to the fun.
Don’t get wrapped up in how easy or hard it is. Just solve it and post something funny and share the fun.
Today’s puzzle should be fun and easy. No knowledge of foreign language skills required. Be creative with your replies 😝
Here it is (with anticipation and drum roll). Ready, set, solve:

Just under 2 min. Straightforward.
I got it.
About 3 min. Always admired the author.

3 Minutes. I was a bit stumped till I noticed the author had four names. It became obvious what the fourth word would be. There were only two choices. I picked one and was able to solve this CG.
Wow! good choice of graphic.
Amazing easy for such a long quote. 2 minutes. Crazy!
3 minutes, took me a while to get all the letters entered. :D
BTW: Please put me on the ping list. I look forward to working the cryptograms in the evenings.
Probably six minutes, even with the clue. The contraction threw me off (face palm) but I got it.
Three (?) minutes
Got the UZW, then word four, then everything fell into place
